[Verse 1]
What child is this, who, laid to rest
On Mary's lap, is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping?

[Chorus]
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste, to bring him laud
The Babe, the Son of Mary

[Verse 2]
So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh
Come peasant, King, to own Him
The King of Kings, salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone Him

[Chorus]
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste, to bring him laud
The Babe, the Son of Mary

[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste, to bring him laud
The Babe, the Son of Mary
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste, to bring him laud
The Babe, the Son of Mary
